Cetakan Ke-1, 2015 Disusun dengan huruf Times New Roman, 12 pt. Kata Pengantar Kurikulum 2013 dirancang sebagai kendaraan untuk mengantarkan siswa menuju penguasaan kompetensi sikap, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan. Pendekatan ini selaras dengan pandangan dalam agama Buddha bahwa belajar tidak hanya untuk mengetahui dan mengingat (pariyatti), tetapi juga untuk melaksanakan (patipatti), dan mencapai penembusan (pativedha). “Seseorang banyak membaca kitab suci, tetapi tidak berbuat sesuai dengan ajaran, orang yang lengah itu sama seperti gembala yang menghitung sapi milik orang lain, ia tidak akan memperolah manfaat kehidupan suci.” (Dhp.19). Untuk memastikan keseimbangan dan keutuhan ketiga ranah tersebut, pendidikan agama perlu diberi penekanan khusus terkait dengan pembentukan budi pekerti, yaitu sikap atau perilaku seseorang dalam hubungannya dengan diri sendiri, keluarga, masyarakat dan bangsa, serta alam sekitar. Proses pembelajarannya mesti mengantar mereka dari pengetahuan tentang kebaikan, lalu menimbulkan komitmen terhadap kebaikan, dan akhirnya benar-benar melakukan kebaikan. Dalam ungkapan Buddhanya, “Pengetahuan saja tidak akan membuat orang terbebas dari penderitaan, tetapi ia juga harus melaksanakannya” (Sn. 789). Buku Pendidikan Agama Buddha dan Budi Pekerti Kelas IX ini ditulis dengan semangat itu. Pembelajarannya dibagi ke dalam beberapa kegiatan keagamaan yang harus dilakukan siswa dalam usaha memahami pengetahuan agamanya dan mengaktualisasikannya dalam tindakan nyata dan sikap keseharian, baik dalam bentuk ibadah ritual maupun ibadah sosial. Peran guru sangat penting untuk meningkatkan dan menyesuaikan daya serap siswa dengan ketersediaan kegiatan yang ada pada buku ini. Guru dapat memperkayanya secara kreatif dengan kegiatan-kegiatan lain, melalui sumber lingkungan alam, sosial, dan budaya sekitar. Sebagai edisi pertama, buku ini sangat terbuka terhadap masukan dan akan terus diperbaiki dan disempurnakan. Oleh karena itu, kami mengundang para pembaca untuk memberikan kritik, saran dan masukan guna perbaikan dan penyempurnaan edisi berikutnya. Atas kontribusi itu, kami mengucapkan terima kasih. Mudah- mudahan kita dapat memberikan yang terbaik bagi kemajuan dunia pendidikan dalam rangka mempersiapkan generasi seratus tahun Indonesia Merdeka (2045).

  • Ánanda Thera
    Ánanda Thera Ven. Ananda Ministering the sick Monk Introduction – Reading the story of Ven. Ananda Thera, we come to know the significance of paying homage to Bodhi tree. It was instructed by Buddha to plant a sapling Bodhi tree to represent him – Buddha said to Ananda – 1. “Ánanda bring a sapling from the Bodhi Tree in Buddha Gaya and plant it in Jetavana. He then said: "In my absence, let my devotees pay homage to the great Bodhi Tree that gave me protection during enlightenment. Let the Bodhi Tree be a symbol of my presence. Those who honor the Bodhi. 2. The next significant contribution was the formation of the Bhikkhuni Sangha order for the first time in Buddha’s Ministry. 3. The next, is the Ratana Sutta – Yatana Tote - whenever, some one recite Ratana Sutta – Yatana Tote – we are reminded of Ven. Ananda who first recite this paritta sutta to clean the evil off the city of Vasali. 4. He attained the Arahantship on the day of the First Council of the Dhamma, (Sangayana), post Maha Parinaibbana period. He was declared the guardian of the Dhamma because of his retentive memory. Page 1 of 42 Dhamma Dana Maung Paw, California 5. One very significant lesson we can learn from the Maha-parinibbana Sutta is Buddha’s instruction to Ananda - "Ananda, please prepare a bed for me between the twin sal-trees, with its head to the north. I am tired, and will lie down." When we meditate we should always face towards the Northerly direction to accrue the purity of the Universe.

The Therīgāthā, an anthology of 73 poems found in the Pali canon, is an example of such an asseveration, composed by theris (women elders of wisdom or senior disciples), some of the first Buddhist nuns who lived in the time of the Buddha 2500 years ago. The gathas (songs or poems) impart significant details concerning early Buddhism and some of its integral elements of mental and spiritual development.

  • Art. XXII.—Kapilavastu in the Buddhist Books
    533 ART. XXII.—Kapilavaxtu in the Buddhist Books. By T. WAITERS. THE recent discoveries in Nepal associated with the name of Dr. Fiihrer, Archaeological Surveyor in the employment of the Government of India, may lead at an early date to a revival of interest in the life of the historical Buddha, distinguished generally by the names Gautama and Sakya- muni, and in the district in which he is supposed to have been born. The first of these discoveries was an Asoka pillar, found in 1893 near the tank of Nigllva, a village in the Nepalese Terai (or Tariii), about 37 miles to the north-west of the Uska station of the North Bengal Railway. This pillar has an inscription which records that King Asoka, fourteen years after he had ascended the throne, personally worshipped the tope of the Buddha Konakamana, and added to it for the second time. From the travels of the Chinese pilgrims Fa-hsien and Yuan-chuang l we learn to some extent how this tope stood with respect to the site of Kapilavastu, visited by them. Then last year the official explorers discovered in the same district another Asoka pillar, also bearing an inscription. In this second inscription the king states that he set up this pillar in the Lummini village (presumed to be not far from Kapilavastu) at the very spot where Sakyamuni Buddha was born. Further investigations, we are informed, are to be made in this interesting district, and these may lead to more discoveries of still greater importance. The 1 The common ways of writing the names of these pilgrims are Fa-hien and Hioueu-Thsang; they are also written Fa Hien (or Hian) and Hiuen Tsiang.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

FOREWORD ANCIENT INDIA, though she passed tudes of fortune, has Left us no historian of her national life. Brahmins and Buddhists alike, intent on the satisfaction of the desire to attain that insight which delivers from the burden of empirical existence, could see nothing of sufficient value in the passing events of life to render them willing to record them or to seek to interpret their significance, while princesand their followers found an adequate substitute for historic narrations in the famous legends of the epics. Hence it follows that, if with the curiosity of the modern world we seek to reconstruct the history of India in the centuries immediately preceding and following the Christian era, we are compelled to build up a structure by the careful collection and fitting together of every available fragment of evidence.
